I just love this beautiful confection that I found on pinterest …. and felt like a pink post!

I don't know if you are like me but I adore personalised seals … they are so elegant and finishe a correspondence beautifully.

I am sure you will agree when I say delicate china and Laduree are beautiful and it makes me feel happy to look at them and marvel at the creation … I have hit the ground running this year already with new clients and continuing on with briefs from last year …. it is nice to have a few moments just to look at these images and enjoy how beautiful things always inspire ….

Inspire creativity ….. to achieve … I just have to realise that the above saying is so true … we can do anything just not everything….

so whatever your dreams are for this year I hope you achieve your goals and enjoy every single moment ….

Happy New Year everyone! I am finally catching my breath to do a post about our Christmas and New Year! I hope everyone had a beautiful festive season! I had a very busy end to 2013 and had literally no time to sit down and blog. We are just finishing our holiday after having Christmas at home with all the trimmings ... size 52 turkey this year with the old family recipe for seasoning. The plum pudding went beautifully and Mum was so happy as this year we had a really good skin on it! Topped off with cream and custard it was divine. I took this photo above when we were in Macau at The Venetian Resort as I just thought it was so beautiful and kind of reminded me of Sugar and how also how incredibly gorgeous a pink Cartier watch with diamonds is!

We had time in Hong Kong and Macau and all of the holiday windows were beautiful (but still don't beat New York! ~ best in the world!)

This was the floral arrangement at reception at The Peninsula, Hong Kong. Stunning! Hong Kong is very intriguing and I love the colonial history behind it! We saw wonderful architecture mixed with Chinese culture and it was gorgeous.

This was the little Peninsula Bear that was a gift for Georgiana ~ So cute!

Sunset over Victoria Harbour ~ breathtaking....

A little bit of shopping was in order and this Miss Dior shop for children was so beautiful .... the attention to detail was incredible.

A rose at High Tea ....

Our Christmas tree for 2013 ..... I went with a snow encrusted tree and it was such a nice change from the pure green pine ....

I love the way the fairy lights reflect in the sash windows ......

champagne for Christmas Day

Sugar ready to pounce!

A couple more of the Dior store in Hong Kong .... I wish you all a fantastic 2014 and I believe it is going to be a great year!!!!

You Are Always Welcome!
